Both instances were captured on video and shared with KCRA 3 News.

In a video captured by Yak Studios, a woman in a silver Volvo drives into oncoming traffic shortly after 8 p.m. Friday on Interstate 5 near Del Paso Road. Other vehicles on the highway are seen moving out of the way before the woman stops in front of the driver recording her. She then waives her arms at the driver before turning around.

The driver of the Volvo left before CHP was able to find her.

On Saturday afternoon, a driver crashed into a pickup truck on Highway 99 near 47th Avenue. Jaydin Wagner, who was in the truck during the crash, recorded video of the aftermath.

The video shows a silver Volvo with serious front-end damage. The driver of the Volvo, who appears to be the same driver from Friday's incident, looks shaken after the crash. At different points during the video, the woman walks in and out of traffic and hops up and down in front of a CHP officer.

"She’s acting very sporadic, she’s making weird movements, jumping around all weirdly -- things like that," Wagner said. "She sits down a few times, walks back into traffic. She starts yelling at people."

Neither person in the truck was injured in the crash.

"She could have killed so many people, in the state that she was in," truck driver Victoria Reiner said. "I’m really surprised that she didn’t."

CHP said the license plates from both incidents match.

In the Saturday crash, the woman was driving the correct direction. However, witnesses described her as reckless.

Responding officers took the driver into custody and took her to a hospital for a mental evaluation.
